Mixed Fruit Scones
- 3 2/3 cup self-rising flour
- 1 1/2 oz (about 2) pitted dates, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup dried apricots, finely chopped
- 1/3 cup dried figs, finely chopped
- 1 tsp pumpkin- or apple-pie spice
- 1 cup lemonade
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 tbsp milk, for brushing
- Preheat oven to 425u0b0F. Sift flour into a large bowl. Stir in dates, apricots, figs and mixed spice.
- Mix lemonade and cream together; pour into flour mixture and, using a flat-bladed knife, mix gently until just combined. Dough will have a sticky consistency.
- Turn dough out on to a lightly floured surface. Quickly bring dough together to form a 1 1/2-inch-thick round. Using a floured 2-inch cutter, cut 16 rounds from dough.
- Place scones on a lightly floured baking tray, just touching side by side. Brush tops with milk. Bake for 12-15 mins, until golden. Serve warm.
